2015 Holloran Pinot Noir Le Pavillon
Tasting notes
This old-vine Pinot Noir starts with aromas of earth & dusty cherry. On the palate, intense and vibrant notes of blackberry and black cherry are present. The very long, lively finish features ample tannins, showing great aging potential.

The Le Pavillon Vineyard site in the heart of the Red Hills AVA in Dundee, is our oldest and most unique vineyard. This 10 acre site boasts ownrooted Pommard clone Pinot Noir planted in 1972, along with Chardonnay and Riesling, making it one of the oldest surviving vineyards in the Willamette Valley.
The soils are volcanic-based Jory with subsurface parent material of fractured basalt. The vines are not irrigated, forcing the roots to seek water and minerals deep underground. The average elevation is 617 feet, with a south facing 9.7% slope.
This vineyard has been farmed organically since 1999 and biodynamic since 2006, supporting the production of some of the finest Pinot Noir that Oregon has to offer.
